Samsung promised to bring 10-inch Galaxy Tablet in first half of 2011

As we have seen recently, the Samsung Galaxy Tablet has been quite a popular piece of technology as it prepares for its launch across all four major U.S. carriers. While many were left wondering why there was only a 7-inch version available and not a choice of sizes, it seems as though our question was quickly answered. A General Manager from Ireland has confirmed that they are in the works of a 10-inch version to match their current tablet and are hoping for a release in the first half of 2011. Part of this delay could be that Samsung is waiting for the release of either Gingerbread or Honeycomb, which should be displayed better on a tablet form factor, since we know Android 2.2 was not made for that.

Although I'm not a fan of tablets, I'm loving the fact that Samsung is making this available for all carriers, and they are also offering different sizes and the option to buy wifi or wifi + 3g models.

All this choice will drive competition and hopefully wake up the other companies to the fact that consumers want options and differing levels of hardware specifications, rather than being pigeon holed into carriers or specifications that manufactures think we should want.
